Episode 80: Hulks, Incredible?
from Recovered · host Dan Gibbins and Keith Kollee
As the MCU returns from hiatus, Dan and Keith look back at the film that set up Captain America: Brave New World... that being 2008's The Incredible Hulk. First, in 2003, Ang Lee and a young producer named Kevin Feige attempted a deep, psychological Hulk, with comic-book-style editing, examinations of trauma and repressed memories, and a bit of a whackadoo climax, that may have been all theme, no plot. Five years later, Feige made one of the debut movies of his Marvel Cinematic Universe experiment a safer, simpler Hulk story... that was sandwiched between two much bigger superhero hits and largely slept on. Dan and Keith discuss what works better: a big swing that doesn't connect, or a bunt that doesn't astonish? Listen in and make your choice.
